Ukraine can win the war with Russia if it has good weapons, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said after a joint visit to Kyiv with Secretary of State Anthony Blincon.
“The first thing to win is to believe that you can win,” Austin told reporters after returning to Poland.
“They can win if they have good equipment, strong support,” he added.
“We want Russia to be weakened to the point where it can no longer do things like invade Ukraine,” Austin told the media after his visit to Kyiv.
Russia cannot achieve its military goals in Ukraine, while Kyiv is succeeding, US Secretary of State Anthony Blincon told reporters, citing the Associated Press.
He referred to the withdrawal of Russian troops from Kyiv in order to focus on the Donbass.
